The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

M31 Technology adopted Cadence's VIP for PCI Express® (PCIe®) 2.0 along with the TripleCheck™ option to realize faster verification closure and comprehensive specification coverage. The VIP models interfaces such as DDR, MIPI, USB, SATA and PCIe as components that can be plugged into a system-on-chip (SoC) testbench and simulated along with the chip. Cadence's TripleCheck IP Validator includes a test suite, coverage model and verification plan (vPlan) that simplifies pre-silicon compliance verification.

"As an IP provider, M31 Technology aims to provide customers with high-quality silicon IP services and help them reduce their time to market," said Hsiao-Ping Lin, Chairman and CEO of M31 Technology Corporation. "Using Cadence VIP and TripleCheck solutions dramatically shortens the time that designers require to write a testbench. Most importantly, designers without verification experience can also easily perform verification tasks and achieve excellent coverage."

Cadence is the industry VIP leader with products supporting more than 40 communication protocols and 60 memory interfaces. Cadence VIP fits into nearly every verification environment with support for all major simulators and verification languages.
